question 13

Important: This question continues from the three previous questions.
According to the Mars company, packages of milk chocolate M&Ms
contain 20% orange candies. Suppose a random sample of 100
M&Ms taken.
What is the probability that this random sample of 100 M&Ms will
contain 17% or fewer orange candies? Write a complete sentence as
your final answer, including both the percentage (rounded to one
decimal place, like 68.1%) as well as a full sentence with context of
this specific problem.
On your scratch paper:
• label the normal curve using the given information
• write down what was entered into your calculator
• number your scratch work with this question number.
